I Just Finished my swap not long ago i put a D16a6 into a 88 civic 4dr DX i ran MPFI and now its throwing a Code 9 Please Help???

 

i think a code 9 is number one cylinder position... usually that means that the ignitor in the distributor is bad... its not reading TDC... does it cut out or run bad at all?

 

u probably got the blu/grn blu/yel wires swapped. which is c1 and c2

 

im going to swapp them to see if it makes a difference anymore suggestion

 

swapped the wires and it didnt make a difference what should i do now ... please anybody??????

 

you might not have the crank at tdc when the #1 plug fires.

 

i threw code 9 not to long ago and made a post. well to sum the whole post up I got a new distributer and all my problems were solved.

 

see if you can borrow a distributor from someone with an ef and see if that fixes it. if so then you know it's the distributor

 

i got an extra A6 distributer i will try it tommarrow morning thanxs for the info i will keep u guys posted

 

bump to keep this page bookmarked for myself.

 

the dreaded code nine. i think mine is timing related cuz my head is milled. i have a cam gear, just have to get off my *** and put it on.

 

code 9 is a major pain in the ***

 

i changed the Dizzy and is still doing the same thing im completly lost now.. please help

 

if you changed the timing belt before putting it back in then your cam alignment is OFF...if the crank wasnt at TDC then youd get a code 8 but check your cam timing and make sure the gear up arrow is pointing straight up at 12 oclock. if you pop the valve cover you will notice there isa little circular hole that you cna put a 5mm allen key or roll pin threw and it will hold the cam aligned straight.

good luck

 

my timming is dead on and i checked all my wiring again and still throwing code 9

 

where did you get the distributor from?

Code 9 is NOT the ignitor.

It's the distributor OBD1 or OBD0? What about the ECU?

 

it is probably your timing.... thats what my problem was....

 

Its all Obo with a PM6 ecu

 

BUMP

 

Bump Bump Really Need Help

 

is the crank timing on? how are you checking the timing? get an ohm meter, unplug the dist.and check resistance btween the white and red terminals in the connector. should be btween 350 and 550 ohms.

 

i just re checked my wiring all over again in case a wire had came apart or sum thing but all the wiring is ok i just finish doing a ohm test and its 430 ohms and the timing is dead on im checkin the timing wit a timing gun .... but now its still throwing the code 9 but now it throws it after the car is on for like 30 minutes befor it use to come on rite when u turn on the car

 

I am having this same problem, old thread but I can't figure it out either. BRAND NEW dizzy with pr3 ecu. I am clueless

 

alright guys thank to u i finally got the damn code 9 to go away and my car is finally code free but the only problem i got now is that its idling reall high (3k) and its running way too rich any suggestions

 

sorry for my rudeness, i apologize in advance...Tell us what you did to make it go away, dummy...
